- Is the Hyperion Elite 3 good for everyday training?
- No. It is a race-day shoe with a firm carbon plate and limited outsole durability. Use a daily trainer for most miles and save this for races and fast workouts.
- How does it compare with the Hyperion Max?
- The Elite 3 has a carbon plate and a firmer, more aggressive ride for racing. The Hyperion Max is a plated daily trainer with more cushioning and no carbon plate.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It fits true to length but runs narrow through the midfoot. Runners with wide feet should consider sizing up or trying it on first.
- Is it suitable for heavy runners?
- It can work, but the firm foam and thin outsole suit lighter, efficient runners better. Heavier runners may prefer a more cushioned racer.
- What is the heel-to-toe drop?
- The drop is 8 mm, with a heel height of about 1.25 inches. That is a moderate drop typical of road racers.
- Can I use it on a treadmill?
- Yes, but the stiff plate and firm ride feel best on roads. The outsole is thin, so treadmill use will wear it faster.

- At Shop Simon, for $212.00, as of our latest check.
